Commission on Global Reconciliation

Millennium Development Goals and Sustainable Development Goals

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are eight goals agreed to in 2000 by 189 heads of state and government ― including the United States ― from around the world that address the deepest material brokenness in the world today. The MDGs were endorsed by the 2003 General Convention and have provided structure and focus for the mission of many dioceses, congregations and individuals throughout The Episcopal Church.

Since 2006 our diocese has allocated 0.7% of the diocesan budget to support work done to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

In 2016 the MDGs were replaced by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which extend and build on the achievements of the MDGs.

Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels

Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.

Commission on Global Reconciliation

The Commission on Global Reconciliation is a commission appointed by the Bishop. Its responsibilities include:

Making informed recommendations to the Bishop and Commission on Finance and Administration about the disbursement of the 0.7% funds that our Diocese has pledged toward projects that will further the achievement of the Millenium Development Goals.

Building an accessible database of and facilitating connections among all ministries in the diocese engaged in world mission and international development.

Providing opportunities for education about and engagement with works of global reconciliation―including using our connection in the Anglican Communion to build relationships with people and communities in the developing world.

Commission on Global Reconciliation Prayer

Grant us Lord God, a vision of your world as your love would have it:A world where the weak are protected, and none go hungry or poor.A world where the riches of creation are shared, and everyone can enjoy them.A world where different races and cultures live in harmony with mutual respect.A world where peace is built with justice, and justice is guided by love.

Give us the inspiration and courage to build it, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
